Advice to Senior Management

I think it would be great if suggestions given by employees were taken seriously and moreover if there were more incentives.

Pros

Mon-Fri work schedule is great and vacation time. Health ins is ok.

Cons

Expect you to do alot with very little to no help and take care of customers. Upper Management doesnt care if they over work you or if you need help. Beg for time off (vacation or requested days off). Down sizing and making department managers take more than one dept and expect to much to get done with no help.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop treating the associates like robots they can only get so much done in one day esp when you make them have more than one dept to take care because you dont want to pay anymore dept managers and associates.

Pros

Corporate culture fosters respect for associates across all levels of management.

Walmart demands good time management because the culture doesn't encourage good work-life balance.
Management associates work 1 Saturday a month. Daily work hours are 7:30A-5:30P.

Advice to Senior Management

More openness regarding promotion opportunities and how to achieve a promotion.

Pros

Good Pay.
Good scheduling for people who go to school as well.
Work in a team and Solo environment.
A decent amount of freedom in the shop.

Cons

Expect you to work at peek performance all the time.
Constantly work in other department ex: Pushing carts, hardware, lawn and garden, unloading truck, even taking over any janitorial roles any where in the store they see fit.
A lot of managers are put on heavy stress and they apply the stress onto you whether it be by telling to to complete a task within a small amount of time or just their attitude towards you.
